  "account": "Starbucks' beloved Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL) is set to make its return on August 25, despite summer not being over. The coffee chain is also introducing a new lineup of seasonal drinks, including the Iced Banana Bread Latte and Chaider. The decision to bring back PSL early has sparked debate, with some arguing that it's premature. However, signs of the season's arrival are already visible, with Halloween decorations and pumpkins lining store shelves. The food menu will feature items like the Chicken Bacon Protein Pocket and Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin. The PSL will be available hot, iced, or blended, as well as in other pumpkin-inspired forms like the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew and Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino.",
